Mega Shark is Coming Back!

The Asylum, a film production and distribution company, is bringing back Mega Shark for a third installment featuring the creature going up against a mechanical enemy called Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark.

According to The Asylum partner Paul Bales the Mega Shark franchise has a "rabid" following:

"The fan response to the Mega Shark franchise has been rabid. In addition to a very persuasive online petition, we found that Mega Shark has taken on a life of her own. We’ve received photos of Mega Shark cakes, toys and games on a near-daily basis, and we thought it was high time she did battle with an iconic Mecha monster."

The first film, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009), had a successful run on the SyFy channel and the trailer racked up over 2.5 million views within the first week of its release. The next film, Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus (2010), also had a successful run on SyFy. Both films also saw success in the international market.

Casting for the movie will begin later this year.
